According to the Chinese calendar, family and friends should expect 12 months of peace and love!

This lively performance will warm the hearts and delight the senses of audiences of all ages. Dancers with colorful, elaborate costumes, musicians playing ancient melodies and dazzling acrobats fill the stage.

Lions dance with a child, dragons fly out of the ocean and the exotic music of the nomadic, sheep-herding tribes of China come together in a show of beauty and excitement. The festivities extend into the lobby, where an arts and crafts display showcases more of the culture and creativity of the Chinese-American community.
